Proposal:

For context: #131902 (comment)

[...] but I think that non-printable characters should always be escaped. The POT file should be human readable.

Currently, we only escape non-printable ASCII chars, other non-printable characters are not escaped when the --escape is not passed.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere
